Making a photogrammetry model based on images captured under water varies from above water on several areas. Considering this being a full-worthy study on its own, we will not aim to go into details here. We will rather provide you with some examples including a brief description of the project.

M/S Herkules

The M/S Herkules sank outside Nyhavna in Trondheim September 16th 1957. More information about the wreck can be found at Dykkepedia on M/S Herkules.

Underwater vehicle used: Minerva ROV NTNU

Model: The final photogrammery model of Herkules is found at Stein Nornes' Youtube-page.

Short Sunderland Mk. V EJ138 WH-Y

The Sunderland EJ138 was as a result of a mooring accident sunk just west of Munkholmen, Trondheim in 1945. More information about the wreck can be found at Dykkepedia on Short Sunderland EJ138.

Student Project TMR4120

Underwater vehicle used: ROV 30K NTNU

Model: The model can be seen in the GIF to the right.

Related articles: No articles were published from this project.

Comment: When making this model, no additional post-processing of the images were made before inserting them into Agisoft Metashape. As a result, the model is covered by a strong green shade.
